Is there a PSEdit for PowerShell Studio?
My friend, Thom Schumacher, who has been leading the Arizona PowerShell User Group for the past few months, is getting to know PowerShell Studio. Like many of us, he came to PowerShell Studio from PowerShell ISE, so he looks for the “ISE way” to do things in PowerShell Studio. “How do I use PSEdit in […]

Update-Module 5.0 adds, not updates
Applies to: — Windows PowerShell 5.0.10586.63 — PowerShellGet 1.0.0.1 I’m a huge fan of sharing Windows PowerShell modules and making them easy to find (Find-Module), view (Save-Module), and install (Install-Module). So, I truly love the new PowerShellGet module. However, you really need to understand how it works before you use it. Otherwise, you might end up […]
Using Prefixes to Prevent Command Name Collision
In January, I had the honor of presenting to the Mississippi PowerShell User Group (MSPSUG). I’ve known the organizers, Mike Robbins and Rohn Edwards for years, and truly respect them. The PSUG is online-only, which makes it a challenge for presenters, but they attract a very sophisticated audience, so my talks there are really conversations. […]

The Group-Object cmdlet, one of the original provider cmdlets, is as old as Windows PowerShell. It was introduced in version 1.0 and hasn’t changed at all since then. But, it is one of my favorites. (You can tell when I love a cmdlet by the number of examples. Group-Object has 9!) In fact, when you use it […]

Always committed to starting the New Year right, I’m heading to Scottsdale, Arizona on Tuesday, January 5 at 5:30 PM to meet with the newly revived Arizona PowerShell User Group.
